During the summer and autumn seasons of the third year of Yuanfu, Wu Haogu finally had his own one acre of three-point land, and began to deal with specific matters of the business market with great enthusiasm.

His one-acre three-point land is actually very small, which is tens of thousands of acres of land in the north and south of Henan. Under the special needs of the Liao and Song dynasties, or under the cover of Zhao Ji's huge protective umbrella, it has become his world for a while. Wharfs, markets, schools, horse farms, embankments, and various major crafts are being built at an extremely fast speed under the dual effects of money and government orders.

As for someone's report and the covetousness of various forces, there is no way to shake Wu Haogu's rule in Jiehe Commercial City for the time being. After all, his backstage is the official of the Song Dynasty himself!

Moreover, the so-called "market autonomy" has only made the market separate from the civil service system of the Song Dynasty and has not left the control of the palace.

Wu Haogu is the official confidant. Most of the elders of Jiehe Commercial City have the background of Kaifeng generals. The Fengying Bureau, which directly represents the official family, has now opened to Qingzhou City. They will be moved here just when the Jiehe Commercial City has begun to take shape.

Zhang Shuye has also arranged people from all walks of life to disguise as imperial guards. Maybe their imperial guards are the ones who are installed in the mall.

In short, everything is at the control of it!

With the joint efforts of all parties, Jiehe Commercial Market gradually began to flourish. Shortly after the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce was the first to settle in, the Wu family in Haizhou, the Ji family in Pingjiang, the old vinegar of Su family in Kaifeng Prefecture, the raw medicine shop and Jingonglou of the Ximen family in Yanggu, the gold, silver and silk exchange shop of Yan Po'er, the Wangbeilou Real Estate Company, the joint venture between the Republic and the horses, and many merchants selling raw medicine for cattle, sheep, horses and fur have also settled in one after another.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a house for the time being. Just learn from the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce to set up some tents and set them up on the flat open space!

People do business in a simple way because they are optimistic about the future of Jiehe Commercial Market, but because the newly opened Jiehe Commercial Market has some preferential policies.

First of all, Jiehe Maritime Trading Department has not yet operated normally. Although Jiehe Maritime Trading Department has been established for a long time, because Jiehe Commercial City has been under construction, the officials and officials of the Maritime Trading Department have not arrived for a while. Now Wu Haogu has only set up a checkpoint at the wharf of Jiehe Commercial City, and charges municipal taxes and ship taxes for incoming and outgoing ships. The tax rate is lower than that of elsewhere. In fact, "buying" is not implemented, which is actually a low price to buy. This allows merchants who walk in and out of Jiehe to make a lot more money than those who walk in and out of other checkpoints.

Secondly, Ma Zhi also released water on the other side of the border river. Trade between Liao and Song dynasties has never been completely free, and each has goods that are prohibited from being exported.

It is correct that the Song Dynasty controlled copper and iron books and other items, it was books! The Song Dynasty court seemed to be very worried that the surrounding countries would become stronger after learning Confucian truth, so they have been controlling text books. Even Buddhist scriptures are not allowed to be exported... Maybe it is because they are worried that foreigners do not know whether the package includes the Indians who recite scriptures too much can get the blessing of the Buddha, so that their country will be strong?

The Liao Kingdom also regulates horse exports, and does not allow horse exports with shoulder heights to a certain standard. The horses and pack horses are also strictly controlled.

But now, under the release of horse plants, the Liao Kingdom has temporarily released the horses and the export of pack horses. Even war horses sometimes appear in Jiehe Market. In fact, it is not that the horse plants deliberately want to release water. Instead, there are many noble people on the grasslands who want to inject capital into Jiehe Market. It is unlikely that the transport of silk from Liao Kingdom to Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom's silk is much more expensive than that of Song State, and they don't have much gold and silver, so they can only relax their exports of horses appropriately.

Under such circumstances, naturally, many businessmen selling cattle, sheep and horses came to the newly opened Jiehe Market to look for business opportunities.

In addition to handling various affairs of Jiehe Commercial City, beyond Wu Haogu's expectations, he also made a new friend in Jiehe Commercial City, Bai Siwen of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce.

A Tianfang Cult!

Moreover, Wu Haogu also learned about a very different Tianfang Sect from Bai Siwen!

This Tianfang Sect and the Tianfang Sect that Wu Haogu knew in the 21st century later are very different...

"You are so knowledgeable, you know Greece and Rome...that's already something in the past! Now the center of world civilization is in the Song Dynasty and Dashi. The Baghdad School of Dashi was in the 140th year of the Tianfang Calendar. Well, Origa, is it the 140th year of the Tianfang Calendar?"

A temporary viewing pavilion on the bank of Jiehe River is in the Wangbeilou Real Estate. While chewing the cake and talking about Western allusions, Bai Siwen is the one who chews the cake.

But I don’t seem to know much, and I often ask a “Rakshasa cat” named Oliga.

"It was about 850 years after the birth of Jesus." Oliga answered in Chinese with a Quanzhou accent.

Wu Haogu looked at this "Rakshasa beauty" with a smile. Her eyes were as color as sapphire, her golden hair was as bright as silk, her eye sockets were deep, and her facial features were delicate and gorgeous, as if she was carefully crafted.

According to Bai Siwen, this Origa and another woman named Maria were both maids who followed the evil cross robbers to Dashi. They were captured in a combat operation and sold to them as slaves. The Aladdin Chamber of Commerce bought them in Baghdad and transported them to Dasong thousands of miles to give them to Wu Haogu and Ma Zhi to warm the bed...

What a miserable fate!

But Wu Haogu is really obsessed with Bai Feifei now and is temporarily not interested in holding hands with Oliga. However, when he asked Bai Siwen about the situation in the Western world, he found that Bai Siwen often asked her.

Oliga's answer shows that she is a little knowledgeable woman, and she is also a very stubborn Christian.

However, even this Christian did not deny that the Western academic center has been transferred to Baghdad.

Oliga said: "As I know, from about 850 years after the birth of Jesus until twenty or thirty years ago, all the caliphs in Baghdad had been funding academic research, collecting a large number of books and documents passed down from Rome, Greece, Persia, Babylon, and Egypt, and translating them into the language of the Great Food. With the support of the Caliphate, the Tianfang Catechism School also established an academic institution, the Wisdom Museum and the Nietzsche Academy, which specializes in studying these documents and books. "

Oh, this should be the so-called "century-year translation movement"!

In Wu Haogu's memories of his previous life, there is indeed some content in this regard. It is the century-old translation movement of the Arabs. It is said that the results of this movement were later absorbed by Europeans and became an important driving force for the Renaissance.

The Tianfang Catechism mentioned by Oliga was a school of great influence in the Tianfang Catechism world before the "Mongolian ethnic minorities" went south to Baghdad and carried out "great integration". It was once Sufism joined hands. It was just because the threshold for rationalism was high and the essence was too concentrated in Baghdad, so it could not escape the destruction of the "Mongolian ethnic minorities".

In a sense, neither Tianfang Cult civilization nor Chinese civilization escaped the fusion of the scimitars of Mongolian ethnic minorities. Only Christian civilization, which was far inferior to Tianfang Cult civilization and Chinese civilization, escaped and ushered in the era of Renaissance!

"Tianfang Taoist Neo-Confucianism..."

Wu Haogu couldn't help but think of "Chengzhu Neo-Confucianism". Although later generations generally held negative opinions on "Chengzhu Neo-Confucianism", Wu Haogu, who had truly systematically studied Confucianism and was also a Confucian scholar in this life, knew that the theoretical system of Confucianism was not complete and had defects in world outlook and methodology. After absorbing some views of Buddhism and Taoism, Chengzhu Neo-Confucianism organized it and built a relatively complete Confucian system.

Of course, this Confucian system is not perfect. After all, Neo-Confucianists in the Song Dynasty could only draw nourishment from Buddhist and Taoist theories. What the Buddhist and Taoist schools could provide was extremely limited, and there were many fallacies.

If we want Confucianism to truly perfect in the Song Dynasty, we must broaden the horizons of Confucian scholars and allow them to absorb nutrients from Western academic thoughts... Wu Haogu himself was just an "art student" in his previous life, and the ideological nutrients he could provide were some. And what he advocated now could cultivate is only "samurai" rather than thinkers, philosophers and scientists.

As for Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bitan", although there are many scientific and technological things. However, there are many fallacies, and they are mixed but not precise. It is more like a collection of "technician manuals" with high value, but we cannot give up the opportunity to absorb the essence of the "century-year translation movement".

But how can we copy the books collected in the "Smart Museum" and bring them to China? Wu Haogu thought, spending money alone may not be able to handle it, right?

"Bai Yuanwai," Wu Haogu suddenly asked, "Have you been to the Nietzschemea Grand Academy and the Wisdom Hall?"

"No, no..." Bai Siwen shook his head.

In fact, he has never been abroad and does not know much about the language of big food.

"If you go," Wu Haogu asked again, "Can you get books from the Nietzschemea Academy and the Wisdom Hall?"

"This..." Bai Siwen couldn't answer at all, so he could only look at Oliga.

Oliga said: "The Nietzschemeia Academy and the Smart Pavilion are open and accept foreign students and scholars... But Bai Yuanwai is probably not qualified to study there."

"If," Wu Haogu thought about it, "If Bai Yuanwai became an envoy of the Song Dynasty and brought gifts and Confucian classics, could he obtain Neo-Confucian books in the Wisdom Museum?"

"What's the point?" Bai Siwen was startled by Wu Haogu's proposal, "Big, great official, aren't you telling it seriously?"

"Don't want to go?" Wu Haogu looked at Bai Siwen and asked with a smile, "The envoys of the Song Dynasty are officials! And they can even see the Caliph... Maybe they can go to Jerusalem, Rome, Constantinople, and travel around the world. Isn't that good?"
Chapter completed!
